Narrative

EE & co-worker were replacing & repairing track groups on the 330 excavator. In an attempt to align the lock slots with the slip fit pins to join the tracks together, EE tapped on the pin with a sledge hammer. The pins did not move. EE took a more forceful swing, the hit glanced off the pin toward the track pad where his hand was caught between the pad & the sledge handle.
